Now that I've been on the job with the new thing for three weeks now, it's clear that I need to develop a new version of what my rhythm will be. Spiritual ryhthms have been pretty important to me ever since I was in college. I worked full time while going to school full time, but I had a total cake job - I did some low-level, relatively high-pay security work at a public university. I worked from about 3pm until about midnight. Every night at some designated time (9pm, 10pm?) I would put away my school work, get out my Bible and a composition book, and spend time in reading, meditation, and reflective writing.
Every time I've gone through a significant schedule/job change, I've floundered through the first few weeks until I got a new rhythm worked out. I'm doing that now. Except I think I need to make some adjustments. Perhaps a completely different version of my own spiritual formation is needed. I look forward to what comes of this process. It's just a little frustrating going through the trial and error of getting there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, that's part of the value of the process.
